These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I substituted almond milk for the regular milk and the muffins still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the muffins turned out dry. I think I may have overmixed the batter.

I'm not usually a fan of ginger, but these muffins changed my mind. The ginger flavor is subtle and pairs well with the orange.
